The Park People believe that public parks enrich our lives and communities. Whether one is biking along a path, pushing a child in a swing, or merely cherishing a view, our daily lives benefit from our park experiences. They enhance our quality of life.

Each generation bears a responsibility to ensure that parks continue to be a valuable resource to the people of Milwaukee.

• “Milwaukee has one of the most beautiful park systems. Growing up in Milwaukee I just assumed that neighborhoods had parks and bandshells and concerts in the summers and boulevards planted with beautiful flowers. When I left, I was amazed to see that pristine green space isn’t the case in most cities in America. – Jane Kaczmarek, Actress and Milwaukee native

"In the end, our society will be defined not only by what we created, but by what we refuse to destroy.” –John Sawhill
